Charleston applicants have Washington DC as the application city for every supported route in the supplied records. The nearest listed centre is the VFS Global Washington Visa Application Centre, with Netherlands and Portugal linked to it. Spain is handled by BLS International, France by TLScontact and Germany by the German Embassy. This guide brings together the five route choices, centre addresses, jurisdiction reminders and driving estimates. Availability changes, so confirm current instructions before booking and allow realistic flexibility for the journey.
The supported centres listed for Charleston are in Washington DC. The nearest listed option is the VFS Global Washington Visa Application Centre at 1025 Vermont Avenue NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005, linked to the Netherlands and Portugal routes. Other listed choices are the BLS Spain centre at 1660 L Street NW, TLScontact at 1899 L Street NW, and the German Embassy at 4645 Reservoir Road NW, all in Washington DC for this guide's routes.
The route set for this page includes Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global, Spain through BLS International, France through TLScontact and Germany through the German Embassy, all with Washington DC as the application city. The Spain listing is linked only to Spain, while the German guidance asks applicants to confirm that the mission covers their place of residence and visa category. Treat this as the supplied set for the guide, not a complete list of centres.
The centre cards use driving estimates calculated from the centre of Charleston with the supplied OpenStreetMap OSRM source. The displayed journey figures are planning aids, not fixed arrival promises. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can alter the route and timing. Because the listed centres are in Washington DC, check the appointment address and build suitable flexibility into a journey from South Carolina. Use the displayed figures for planning only, especially on your chosen day.
Before booking, read the relevant destination instructions. VFS Global says submission arrangements can vary; BLS Spain asks applicants to confirm jurisdiction; TLScontact points applicants to current security instructions; and the German Embassy asks applicants to confirm coverage of residence and visa category. Use the instruction attached to your own route and confirmation, not a different centre's guidance when preparing for the Washington appointment. Read it again before making travel arrangements and follow its current wording.
For Spain, the supplied centre record says the Washington location is linked only to that route and asks applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction. For Germany, confirm that the mission covers your place of residence and visa category before booking, as the official guidance requires.
Washington has separate listed locations for VFS Global, BLS Spain, TLScontact and the German Embassy. Match the provider, street address and suite in your confirmation before travelling. This is especially important when two appointments use different buildings or addresses.
Use the displayed driving figure from Charleston as an estimate only. Traffic, road closures and your starting point may change the journey, and the supplied times are not guarantees. Plan sensible flexibility for Washington DC and check the route on the day.
Carry the appointment confirmation and destination documents required by the relevant provider. Also review current security or entry instructions: TLScontact, VFS Global, BLS Spain and the German Embassy each point applicants to route-specific guidance before travelling.
